Very Interesting indeed. I beleive it is part of the Battlestations series. I like how the History channel and its other programs are using Historical Renactments to show history, Like the P51, Spitfire and B26 programs. Tonight also is Suicide Missions of DDay, Watch that and youll see what i mean.

Time for a new fiance.  Having to watch "survivor" is grounds for justifiable homocide, I think.

:p

Was interesting.

I enjoyed the modern footage of the operable T34.  The early designs with the two man turret are just so damned cute :)

Would have preferred more technical information on variants but the interviews with the old tankers was appreciated.

Most interesting to me was how the hull crew used the large drivers hatch for ingress.

PS. it came on after survivor ;)

I enjoyed it.

And depending on where you live, maybe it didn't come on after survivor... not that it is any excuse to watch survivor.
